Technical Performance
Under the hood, the Super Baja Rey 2.0 packs serious engineering credentials that justify its position as the new standard in 1/6-scale desert trucks. The chassis is built around a 4mm anodised 6061-T6 aluminium plate with integrated 4mm upper deck, providing an exceptionally rigid foundation that refuses to flex even under the most aggressive driving conditions. This platform is enhanced with a super-tough composite roll cage that adds both scale authenticity and structural reinforcement. The Spektrum Firma Smart 160 Amp 8S ESC doesn't just regulate power—it functions as a virtual engineer, continuously monitoring and adjusting to ensure your electronics are operating at peak performance, with Firma Smart technology providing direct access to vital operating data. The 750KV Firma 4-pole brushless motor paired with this ESC is purpose-built for 8S LiPo compatibility, delivering the explosive acceleration and 50+ mph top speed that makes this brushless RC truck genuinely thrilling to drive. The motor features a 19-tooth pinion driving a 37-tooth spur gear with 18/24 compound secondary gearing, resulting in an 8.22:1 final drive ratio and 4.88:1 internal ratio that perfectly balances speed and torque. The front track measures 16.3 inches (414mm) whilst the rear track is 16.1 inches (408.9mm), providing a 20.2-inch (513mm) wheelbase that ensures stable, planted handling. Ground clearance of 3.5 inches (89mm) allows you to clear serious obstacles without belly-sliding through rough terrain. The fully integrated 4WD drivetrain features sealed bevel gear differentials front, centre and rear, allowing infinite tuning of power distribution to dial in your perfect driving characteristics. Water resistance throughout the electronics means you can run in wet conditions without fear, though liquid batteries and chargers require special handling. Weight without battery is 9.8kg (21.6 lbs), with overall dimensions of 889mm long, 396mm wide and 305mm tall, making this a properly substantial large-scale machine that demands respect.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the top speed of the Losi Super Baja Rey 2.0 ready-to-run RC truck? — The Super Baja Rey 2.0 achieves speeds exceeding 50 mph when running on an 8S LiPo battery. The actual top speed depends on battery capacity, terrain conditions, driving technique and local wind conditions, but this is genuinely a serious speed machine that demands respect and open space.
- Is the Super Baja Rey 2.0 suitable for beginners or only experienced RC drivers? — Whilst this is an RTR (ready-to-run) model that comes fully assembled and ready to drive, it is not recommended for absolute beginners due to its size, power and speed. With a skill level rating of 4, this model is best suited for experienced RC enthusiasts who understand battery management, brushless motor operation and high-performance vehicle handling. The AVC Active Vehicle Control system does help manage traction and stability, but the 50+ mph speed capability demands driver competency and safe driving practices.
- What battery does the Super Baja Rey 2.0 need, and why is it sold separately? — The Super Baja Rey 2.0 uses 8S LiPo batteries (or dual 4S packs configured in series) with EC5 or IC5 connectors. Batteries are sold separately because they require special shipping regulations due to their lithium content, and offering them separately allows you to choose the capacity (typically 5000mAh or larger) that best suits your intended use. You will need a compatible LiPo charger as well, which is also sold separately. Batteries must be stored and transported with proper safety precautions in a fireproof LiPo safety bag.
- How does the bottom-loading battery tray make maintenance easier? — Traditional RC trucks require you to remove the body or fight with battery straps inside the chassis to change batteries between runs. The Super Baja Rey 2.0's innovative bottom-loading system allows you to quickly and easily swap batteries without removing the body or wrestling with straps, getting you back to driving faster and spending less time on frustrating maintenance.
- What is included in the Spektrum DX3 radio system? — The Spektrum DX3 transmitter includes a built-in 3-position throttle limiting switch for progressive power delivery, AVC (Active Vehicle Control) activation and deactivation buttons, and travel adjustment for fine-tuning steering and throttle response. The included Spektrum 6100AT AVC receiver features steering priority and integrates the AVC traction control system directly into the model for automatic performance optimisation.
- How is the Super Baja Rey 2.0 different from standard 1/10-scale RC buggies and trucks? — The Super Baja Rey 2.0 is a 1/6-scale model, meaning it's significantly larger and heavier than typical 1/10-scale machines, with roughly 36 times more volume and dramatically more mass, power and presence. The larger scale allows for incredible detail work, bigger components that are easier to service, and the ability to run higher voltage batteries (8S versus typical 3S or 4S) for genuine speed and acceleration. The scale also means longer suspension travel, bigger tyres, more impressive air time and an entirely different driving experience—you're not just driving a toy truck, you're piloting a serious 9.8kg machine with 50+ mph speed capability.
- Is the Super Baja Rey 2.0 waterproof, and can it run in wet conditions? — The Super Baja Rey 2.0 is water-resistant with waterproof ESC and motor, meaning the electronics can handle splashes, water crossings and light rain during normal operation. However, the batteries themselves are not waterproof and require proper care, and you should never fully submerge the vehicle. Always allow electronics to dry thoroughly before charging or storing.
- What makes the King Shocks special compared to standard RC truck shocks? — King Shocks are purpose-built for high-performance off-road vehicles and feature long-travel coil-over design with oil damping and bump stops specifically tuned for absorbing massive impacts from whoops, jumps and rough terrain. Unlike simpler shock designs, they maintain consistent damping across their entire travel range and can be adjusted for different driving conditions, making them essential for serious desert-running performance.
- Can the differentials be adjusted, and why would you want to do that? — Yes, the front, centre and rear differentials are sealed bevel gear units that can be tuned to adjust power bleed between drivetrain sections. By adjusting these, you control how aggressively the truck corners and exits turns—more rear bias makes it punchier out of corners, whilst front bias improves turning stability. This allows competitive drivers to dial in the perfect setup for specific terrain or driving style.
